Nichirei Group shareholder returns and dividends | Nichirei Group stock-related information

Basic Policy on Shareholder Returns

The basic policy for shareholder returns is to maintain a stable dividend over the long term. In line with achieving sustainable profit growth, we implement progressive dividends with a minimum consolidated dividend on equity (DOE) of 4.0%, while considering each fiscal year’s consolidated business results and free cash flow. Additionally, we conduct flexible stock buy-backs, taking into account capital efficiency and the market environment.
